Parent Coaching

We work with parents — individually and jointly — when parenting feels overwhelming, or when a child’s emotional or behavioral needs are creating stress at home. Our parent coaching sessions are practical and tailored to your family’s needs. While our child-focused work is done in-person, we offer parents the option for telehealth sessions.

  • Stress or uncertainty around parenting approaches

  • Communication or boundary-setting challenges

  • Family transitions or periods of change

How Our Parent Coaching Sessions Work

Parent coaching may take place on its own or alongside a child’s individual therapy, depending on the needs of the family. Whether in-person or telehealth, sessions are collaborative, focused, and designed to support real-life change at home. Approaches may include:

  • Understanding behavior through a developmental lens

  • Improving communication at home

  • Strengthening boundaries and consistency

  • Responding more effectively to emotional or behavioral challenges

  • Integrating tools from SPACE-informed parenting approaches

Parenting Support Can Make a Meaningful Difference

Sometimes, parenting can feel overwhelming. The right support can bring clarity, confidence, and connection back into your home.
